Eric Liddell

Hello there,

I’m Patricia Liddell-Russell, Eric Liddell’s eldest daughter. My sisters and I are great supporters of the work of the Eric Liddell Centre. It’s a fantastic place doing amazing work for the people of Edinburgh in Scotland. I have noticed that the pages about my Dad on this website get far more hits than any other pages. Clearly you’re interested in Dad but also appreciate the work the ELC is doing in Dad’s name. Can you please help me support them by giving an online donation, right now, to their work?

Due to the uncertain economic effects on the country, some funders are choosing to stop or delay funding – this means they are struggling to maintain the level of funds we need to remain active. In response to this situation the Centre is currently hosting an emergency CoVcare – Coronavirus Resilience Campaign.

Click here to give them a donation now. Any amount you choose to give will automatically get converted into your own currency on your card’s statement.

God bless,

Patricia
